Its northern terminus leads to Route 1—the antecedently first route in your journey—and its southern terminus leads to Route 21; the latter requires the out-of-battle usage of the move Surf in order to be navigably reachable.

By regional linearity of PRO's storyline, this is the very first town all players will visit after they complete the starting-area walkthrough. You will select your starter Pokémon herein and encounter your first rival battle with Jackson before embarking on your journey.

Players House

Thereupon arriving in Pallet Town, you will be auto-situated in your bedroom in your own house. You will find two item capsules behind the cushions on the floor, which contain Pokémon-trainer apparatus in 5 Pokéballs and 5 Potions; they will be claimable after you speak with your mother, who will also purvey 10,000 to you.

After a mawkish talk with your mother, you will be allowed to leave the house to Professor Oak's lab. Once you have Pokémon in your on-hand lineup, your mother will heal them for you whenever you interact with her—a surrogacy for the Pokémon-healing functions of Pokémon Centers that Pallet Town is bereft of, otherwise.

Professor Oak's Lab

When embarking on your journey, Professor Oak will furnish all the instruments needed for your journey—including your starter Pokémon and Pokédex. Once you have acquired the Pokédex, you can use it to immediately register the seen-data entries of all overworld Pokémon you interact with—including all those that are roaming around Pallet Town as well as the starter-Pokémon Pokéballs on the lab table.

The PC in his lab can be used to restore lost Pokédex data lost of any Legendary Pokémon; this is especially resourceful if you have battled a Legendary Pokémon yet lost its seen-data entry due to a server rollback.

Kanto's starter-Pokémon subset comprises the same ensemble used in the handheld games, with the augmentation of Pikachu as a quaternary option.

In order to select Pikachu, you must first interact with and decline each starter-Pokémon option on the table; thereafter, you can select the lightning-bolt Pokéball on the ground, which contains Pikachu. Starting with Pikachu will unlock your tuteeship to the Surf move to teach to any Pikachu that you originatively obtain, as well as a litany of Team Rocket Trio encounters throughout Kanto.

Once all the conditions have been fulfilled and the Old Sea Map has been obtained from an old man in Celadon, the Lapras south of Pallet Town will bring the player to Faraway Island, the island where Mew can be caught. However, accessing the island requires a strict timing as it is only possible to go there between 12:00 and 13:00 in-game time.

NPC Trainers

This area environs your first encounter with Jackson; you must defeat him before you can proceedingly advance to Route 1.

He only deploys a level-3 Eevee; this can easily be vanquished as long as linearly use damage-dealing moves on it, as your starter Pokémon will invariably outlevel it and should have an Oran Berry on-hand to automatically restore health as a fallback if needed.
